The target market is vast and continually growing

Laser

To the solid-state laser systems market, Zenit offers laser gain media formed by polycrystals in alternative to traditional single crystals. Zenit polycrystals help dissipate more effectively the heat generated during the emission process, thus minimizing degradation of performance caused by thermal gradients and their related optical effects. This is made possible by the type and distribution of dopant ions within the component volume, which can vary in three dimensions.

Semiconductors

For the semiconductor industry—specifically in plasma etching of silicon wafers—Zenit supplies yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG)-based nozzles and injectors. These components offer superior corrosion and chemical resistance compared to traditional alumina-based alternatives and can be custom-designed to meet specific application requirements.

Advanced applications

Zenit produces polycrystalline components for a wide variety of applications, including scintillators and industrial processing and applications, combining high mechanical and thermal resistance, chemical inertness , with complex shapes and multiple compositions.
